Hi there purple lady. I'm ok. Crazy stressed at work, like never before. We're days away from ER. It'll be either Sunday or Monday. Last night, we had a somewhat unexpected death in the family. It's added a ton of stress to our situation, but we'll make it through.

Are you on the FB group? That is where we all have been. Is your donor stimming well??

Irish, I'm not on the FB group. I was worried about privacy and really don't want to set up a secondary FB account. I will though if that's where you girls are.

My clinic won't tell me crap about how she's doing. Today is day 9 of stims. I suspect we'll trigger tomorrow. They said to expect 5-12 eggs. You can imagine I wasn't satisfied with that range. They said she's responding nicely and that it'll probably be around 10 or so. When I expressed concern about the possibility of 5, the nurse replied, "Remember, theses aren't your eggs. They're good." Super! lol

ETA -- my comment about not being satisfied with the 5-12 range had nothing to do with the numbers. The range is so great, it's basically meaningless.

I'm rooting for you! I know it will drive me insane when my donor is stimming bc they don't tell you anything since I don't get them all anyway. Hang in there!!

10 eggs sounds good to me - not overstimmed so potentially great quality among them all! Hang in there.

Thanks mtlaurel! I completely agree. We'd be ecstatic with 10. Sounds like a sweet spot, good balance between number and quality. We shall see. No matter what we get, it'll be better than anything I could ever have done.

Yes, it will drive you bonkers. I know someone who's had two DE cycles at CC.RM and she said they don't give out info either. My nurse said they don't tell because too many patients have yelled at the doc when expectations weren't met. She laughed when I told her that I'm different. Can't wait for your cyst to resolve so you can get this party started!

How are you doing?

I'm so sorry about the death in the family and for all of the stress at work and home. I was hoping for a relaxed, stress-free time for you.

Please post an update on the ER - I'll be rooting for you!

Our cycle has been delayed again. We've finally saved up the $28k cost for everything, but now I'm having second thoughts about our clinic -- they seem so short and curt with responses and I'm worried I should be looking elsewhere. We can only afford one shot at IVF, and I just don't want to have any regrets. Sigh.

Why did everyone leave, G? And look at you and your second u/s! Whohoo! Hope you're feeling well, sweets.

I think they all went to the FB group... I joined because that's where news of worms was, but I just don't want to be near FB still. And thanks!!!! I'm feeling fine... I'd be better if I had more symptoms that's why IF and PGAL does to ya

I had no idea. I apologize if I shouldn't have asked about it on here,
but I just didn't realize what was going on and that it was being kept
private on facebook.

That you got responses probably means its okay now. Being concerned is nothing to feel bad about; we all love and feel for worms

::waves hi:: Sorry about the death in your family ?? I am so excited to read that you are so close to ER. You need to keep us posted on everything. OMG, I am so excited for you!!! I am pulling for all of my DE girls! Can't wait to hear an update!

So good to see you, AmCheri! I've been thinking of you often and wondered how things were going (thought that you were in the midst of your DE cycle, but wasn't certain). Definitely keep us posted, looking forward to any/all updates and keeping everything crossed for you!
